Sex‐Specific Variation in Foraging Behavior is Related to Telomere Length in a Long‐Lived Seabird [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Foraging during breeding is a demanding activity linked to breeding investment and possibly constrained by individual quality. Telomere length, the protective nucleoproteins located at the ends of the chromosomes, is considered a trait reflecting somatic

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Lessons from an eradication under multiple constraints of an island rat population of record density. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Invasive rats threaten island biodiversity, disrupting ecosystems and endangering native species. Although rat eradication has succeeded on many islands, tropical islands present unique management challenges. Strict regulations and financial constraints on some tropical islands further limit proven eradication methods, complicating rodent ...

A framework and review of evidence of the importance of coral reefs for marine birds in tropical ecosystems. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We reviewed the dependence of marine birds on coral reefs, with a focus on trophic relationships. We found evidence for only a few avian species, particularly the Eastern Reef Egret, depending directly on reefs. Birds nonetheless interact with reef and reef‐based food webs in a diversity of ways, many of which are poorly understood and under‐studied ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short-term tactics and long-term impacts. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
